Will budget Schiit Modi3 help?


As retiree with limited experience w/ digital and a very small budget I need your help.
Will the new Schiit Modi3 improve the sound from my 3 year old Yamaha BD-S677 BluRay player, as well as the digital output from my Sony HDTV (currently using FiiO Dac3 mini-dac for tv because no analogue output)?
Thank you,
Mike

The Modi 3 multibit is discontinued and no longer on their website. You have to step up to the Bifrost multibit at $599 to get multibit from Schiit.
Thanks for your feedback Ischarpf and tomcar,

Is the Modi3 difference to the analogue outs of your 20 yr old HK only slightly better. If so, it may not be worth the upgrade to a modern bluray player.

I can't spend the extra money for the multi-bit version, though that would be my first choice, but I am curious if it's better than the Oppo's on board dac, other than warmth.
Thanks Mesch. Yes it would be for cd playback and BD movies. Being it has optical input no reason not to use it with tv too.
Mesch, I would most definitely try the BD player using digital output to dac and compare to analogue out of player for bothe cds and bds.
It wasn't on it a short while back. I see it's back. I read the 1st version had issues, that they must have resolved.
Yesterday I received the Modi3 from my wife for my b-day. I replaced a budget FiiO D3 I was using for tv and occasionally on player. I had to change to different longer interconnects too, and the Modi3 is not fully settled in. But I immediately noticed more bass, detail, dynamics, and clarity than with the FiiO as well as using the player's analogue outputs. A definite upgrade for a budget price.
